Season 3

[kpatrik]

I think Sylar has far more powers than we've seen, and the reason we haven't seen them is because they don't want to blow there whole special effects budget on just one character.
P.S. - I've always been of the opinion that he never lost any of his powers at all, he just couldn't use them for awhile.

[kpatrik]

I'm pretty sure that he did lose the powers originally acquired in season 1. I know I read/heard it in an interview somewhere.
With the exception of telekenesis of course, I think they said he had like an "emotional connection" to that power or something and that acquiring it shaped who he is or something like that.
He really doesn't have many powers these days, just super awesome ones.
As of last observation, he's got telekenesis, electrical manipulation, alchemy, the one with touching objects and knowing their history that I forget the name of, and shapeshifting.
As for the whole random disappearing from the car thing, I don't think it's brant to be significant, probably just for dramatic effect and to demonstrate how powerful he is.

To clarify:

For Telekinesis, Sylar had a great amount of guilt over killing Brian Davis for his ability, that is why he retained the ability. It's the emotional connection between Sylar and Davis.

I don't remember Sylar acting guilty, I remember him showing up at the Suresh apartment after killing Brian Davis saying look at what I can do now!!

Actually they did show him overcome with guilt in a later episode. The one where he first met Elle. He was trying to kill himself over what he'd done.

how did sylar take the shape sgifting ability without removeing his head???

[kpatrik]

I think he used the hole where the piece of steel was, and then after he was through he jamed that knife in the hole he had made.
